Top Rankings and Student Raves About Them

Greek Life at Truman State University

Mixers

Instead of open parties like at the big schools. Every sorority sets up a "mixer schedule" for the semester. The frats host the parties at their houses and the sorority girls show up around 10-11pm. Non-greeks are not allowed in until after 12am unless it is a very special occasion. The majority of campus is unaffiliated but if you want to party then going through recruitment helps.

Drug Safety at Truman State University

Drugs Are a Rarity

Drugs are a rarity. i would say a very small percentage of the student population actually does any form of drug. There are a few members of Greek life that seem to have become labelled as 'druggie' frats but other than that drug use is remarkably small. Alcohol, on the other hand, is easy to get and there is almost always a few parties going on somewhere.
